It looks like there trying to cover all there bases to the sheep dependent on the government.

United States Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) has proposed legislation, *H.R. 875*, which *would literally prohibit Americans from raising food* for themselves, their families, or *even for their animals*, without the */uber alles/ national government's permission!* Extreme statement? NOT! *H.R. 875 makes Americans serfs on their own land!* Read on; this one bill could wipe the United States, /as a free nation/, from the face of the Earth! *We urgently need your help to kill this extremely dangerous bill!*

*H.R. 875, the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (FSMA)* sounds innocent enough at first blush, with language purporting to "protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes." In reality, *the FSMA is an extensive and all-controlling abomination that must be stopped!*

The *FSMA mandates registration* of every "food production facility," which the bill defines as *"any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation;" and every* "food establishment," which the bill defines as "a slaughterhouse..., factory, warehouse, *or facility owned or operated by a person located in any State that processes food or a facility that holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients."*

*H.R. 875 makes NAIS look tame.* This bill will not just sweep up commercial food operations. The fine print of the FSMA will subject hobby gardeners, home canners, anyone with a few chickens, or anyone who "holds, stores, or transports food" - including mushrooms or wild berries gathered in the wild - to registration, extensive management, and inspection by a huge new bureaucracy, the Food Safety Administration (FSA)- even if the food items will only be consumed personally. And registration must be via "an electronic portal," which will be costly and difficult for those without computers.

*H.R. 875 exponentially advances the "Foodborne Disease Surveillance Systems" required of member states of the World Health Organization (WHO)*, which includes the United States. "Food establishments" will be required to adopt preventive process controls, *including implementing recordkeeping and labeling of all food and food ingredients to facilitate their identification and traceability, /including instructions for handling and preparation for consumption./* This might sound rather reasonable... until you remember the definition of a "food establishment" above.

What a kook Rosa Delauro is!! Maybe she should visit Hawaii.....the second largest export there is marijuana. A substance that has been illegal for almost a century. But I'm sure she feels sooooooo important writing nonsense laws! And I'd love to see HOW she will fund such a riduculous idea...GEEZ!!
